Find a thunderstorm over yellow sand. Put on rubber gloves.Place two weights from tire shop (lead)in a glass canning jar.Dig a hole in sand, about two feet down.Put the jar in the sand, upright.Stick a piece of 10' 5/8" rebar in the jar so it points upat the sky. Fill in the jar with sand and bury completely.Make sure rebar is pointing up and end stays at thebottom of the jar. It's okay if it's raining hard and everything gets wet.Stand back. Okay stand way back. Wait for lightning to strike the rebar. After a strike, dig it all out. You'll have a nugget of gold inside the glass.Just break it out of there, if you want it.

Risk-lighting strike before you let go of the rebar.

Alternate method:

Connect in series, four car batteries.Place a quartz crystal in the bottom of a jar.Sprinkle ground cinnibar without gold fleck. Put mercury on the cinnibar.Place lead filings on top of that. Fill with water.Place leads from the closest battery into the water. Put a charger on the battery furthest from the jar, Set to low.Plug it in. 48 hours later, the lead filings should have transmuted.

Risk-Batteries emit toxic fumes and need lots of ventilation. They can explode.
